Job description

Overview

Park Operations Manager — Locations: Piperdam Golf & Leisure Resort, Dundee, DD2 5LP. Job Type: Full Time - Permanent Contract. Salary: £37,500 (DOE).

What we need in a nutshell: We’re looking for a hands-on Park Operations Manager to support our Head Greenkeeper, Hot Tub Manager and Maintenance Team at Piperdam Golf and Leisure Resort. You’ll drive Health & Safety compliance, oversee Planned Preventative Maintenance schedules, and ensure smooth daily operations across the resort. With stunning golf courses, lodges, and multiple facilities, Piperdam offers a unique getaway in the heart of Scotland. If you’re a proactive leader, with strong organisational and planning skills ready to make an IMPACT, we’d love to hear from you!

What you'll be doing

• Lead and develop the Maintenance Team to embed a Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) approach, ensuring proactive maintenance reduces reactive repairs.
• Support the Head Greenkeeper with a structured plan and the correct agricultural tools to maintain 9- and 18-hole golf courses while keeping grounds pristine.
• Support the Hot Tub Manager in following safety procedures, ensuring all tubs are well-maintained, operational, and meeting quality standards.
• Oversee and ensure compliance with Health & Safety policies, including gas and electrical certifications, Legionella checks, and all required safety inspections across the resort.
• Manage the Code of Contractors Policy across the resort.
• Deliver KPIs and operational standards through smart budget planning, commercial awareness, and strong leadership.
• Lead, motivate, and support both permanent and seasonal teams to enhance the guest experience.
• Play a key role in championing and executing capital plans, ensuring investment projects are well-planned and delivered effectively.
• Report to the General Manager and work in tandem with the Guest Experience Manager and wider senior leadership team to drive operational excellence.

If you’re a strategic leader who thrives on efficiency, quality, and proactive planning, we’d love to hear from you!

Skills, experience and qualities you’ll need

We are looking for a high-calibre individual, so you will need:

• A strong Health & Safety background, with experience in compliance, audits, and risk management.
• A proven track record in managing, leading, and developing teams, shaping direction, and driving change.
• Excellent planning and organisational skills, ensuring preventative maintenance and operational efficiency.
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
• The ability to work under pressure, problem-solve, and adapt to challenges.
• Financially aware, confident with budgets and cost control.
• Competent with IT and technology, using systems to improve efficiency.
• Hands-on, self-motivated, and ambitious, with a practical mindset, common sense, and a sense of humour.

It\'s about your values too. We have a can-do, fun-loving, people-centred ethos here at Away Resorts, captured by our holiday heroes\' mantra Attentive Amazing Lovers — if that\'s fired up your curiosity, have a read about it and decide if it describes you.

Nice to have but not essential

• Previous experience in an operational management position.
• IOSH or NEBOSH qualification.
• Mechanical skills / fleet vehicle management experience.
